Last year, we introduced this early mid-season cultivar to our garden, and it quickly became a focal point. It boasts ruffled, 5.75-inch deep orange blooms with a deep red eye and a yellow throat, reaching a height of 37 inches. As seen in the photo, it requires more time to achieve its mature colors.
